The Ninth Sunday After Trinity

Pentecost 10

Needing a Revelation to See Christ

Bible Verses

    Mark 8 v 27 And Jesus and His disciples went out into the villages of Caesarea Philippi. And on the way He questioned His disciples, saying to them, Who do men say that I am? 28 And they told Him, saying, John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, one of the prophets. 29 And He questioned them, But you, who do you say that I am? Peter answered and said to Him, You are the Christ!

Words of Ministry

        In verse 27 the Lord asked His disciples, "Who do men say that I am?" As a man, Christ was a mystery not only to that generation, but also to people today. To the Lord's question the disciples replied, "John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; but others, one of the prophets" (v. 28). This indicates that, at most, without revelation, people can realize only that Jesus is the greatest among the prophets. Without heavenly revelation, no one can know that He is truly the Christ.

        Verse 29 says, "And He questioned them, But you, who do you say that I am? Peter answering says to Him, You are the Christ!" Here we see that Peter took the lead to declare that Jesus is the Christ. Peter did not speak of the Lord simply in a general way as Christ, as an anointed One. Rather, he said, "You are the Christ." This term may not be as striking to us today as it was during the time of the disciples. Peter was declaring that Jesus is the Christ, the anointed One, the Messiah.

        When Peter made the declaration that Jesus is the Christ, he may not have been very clear concerning this point.

        Nevertheless, he saw that this One was not common, that He was not an ordinary person. He realized something that is very particular concerning the Lord, that He is the Christ, God's anointed One, the Messiah. AMEN.

Rosary Novenas

     Religious devotion, public or private, for the duration of nine days to gain special graces, is called a Novena. Those who perform it with a lively hope of having their request granted, and with perfect faith and resignation if it be refused, may be assured that Christ will grant some grace or blessing. This requires an understanding that in His infinite wisdom and mercy, He may refuse the particular favour which is requested.

     Novenas originated in imitation of the Apostles who were gathered together in prayer for nine days from the time of Our Lord's Ascension (to Heaven) until Pentecost Sunday (the descent of the Holy Spirit).

     This practice of saying the Rosary nine times in the form of the Rosary Novena in petition or thanksgiving, is another way of heeding Our Lady's request to Pray the Rosary.

      The 54 Day Novena Devotion which originated in 1884 at the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Rosary of Pompei, consists of the daily recitation of five decades of the Rosary (one complete Mystery: Joyful, Sorrowful, or Glorious) for twenty-seven days in petition and five decades for twenty-seven additional days in thanksgiving. You will actually be making three Novenas in petition for a particular favor and three Novenas in thanksgiving for a particular favour.

     1st day say  the 5 Joyful Mysteries
     2nd day say the 5 Luminous Mysteries
     3rd day say the  5 Sorrowful Mysteries
     4th day say the  5 Glorious Mysteries
     5th day begin again the 5 Joyful Mysteries, etc.

The Family Rosary

The Family That Prays Together... Stays Together.

     The family Rosary is the Rosary recited aloud together, by as many of the family and their friends as can be present. Any family (two or more people) may say the Family Rosary in any suitable place and at any time.

     A leader says aloud the first part of each prayer; a second person or group of persons answers aloud the second part of the prayer.

     To begin the Family Rosary, all hold the Crucifix of their Rosary in the right hand and make the Sign of the Cross.

     The leader begins the Apostles' Creed and proceeds through the rest of the Rosary as shown on Page 2. The leader announces the Mystery before each decade. Five decades (one complete Mystery: Joyful, Sorrowful, or Glorious) should be recited each day.


The Five First Saturdays

Mary's Great Promise at Fatima -

     The Five First Saturdays are intended to honor and to make reparation to the Immaculate Heart of Mary for all the blasphemes and ingratitude of men.

     This devotion and the wonderful promises connected with it were revealed by the Blessed Virgin at Fatima, a small village in Portugal. Our lady appeared to three children there in 1917, and one of the little girls, Lucy, tells us that Our Lady said:

     I promise to help at the hour of death, with the graces needed for salvation, whoever on the First Saturday of five consecutive months shall:

  1. Confess and Receive Communion.
  2. Recite five decades of the Rosary (Joyful, Luminous, Sorrowful, or Glorious Mysteries)
  3. Keep me company for fifteen minutes while meditating on the fifteen Mysteries of the Rosary, with the intention of making reparation to me.
